Duplication |
The Swarm are one of the units that make up the troops of the Dread. They are speculated to have been created from a species previously conquered by the Witness's forces, specifically the Val'a encountered and destroyed by the Disciple Tivon, the Eternal Will.
Gameplay
The Swarm are spindly creatures that resemble Hive Thrall with thin arms and legs with two knees, clawed hands and feet, and jagged elbows. They have flat heads that look as if the head (save for the lower half) had been cut off, showing a similar glassy material seen with statues in Pyramids.
As the name suggests, the Swarm's main method of attack is to attack in a group to overwhelm Guardians with their claws and teeth, often charging at them on all fours. However, the main threat with the Swarm is their duplication. If killed with any weaponry, a Swarm can split off a copy of itself, with a maximum of ten on the battlefield per initial Swarm. Only abilities like grenades, melee and supers can kill a Swarm without creating another one.
